Chapter 368: The Time of Sacrifice
Gao Yuliang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to feel sentimental, and he had to act as soon as possible. He picked up his phone and called Qi Tongwei.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Tongwei asked anxiously: "Teacher, is there any news?"
Gao Yuliang tried his best to keep his voice steady and said, "Tongwei, Secretary Zhao Lichun agreed to lend the money."
When Qi Tongwei heard this, he immediately became excited: "That's great, teacher! Now Chen Yang can be saved."
Gao Yuliang sighed slightly and said, "Tongwei, don't be too happy too soon. The situation we are facing is still very complicated. Although this money can solve the current problem, it is hard to say what will happen in the future."
Qi Tongwei asked anxiously: "Teacher, what do you mean by this?"
Gao Yuliang was silent for a moment, then said, "Tongwei, you have to understand that we are now in a complex political environment. Secretary Zhao Lichun's loaning us money will inevitably attract some people's attention and speculation. We must be careful and not let this matter become a handle for others to attack us."
Qi Tongwei frowned and said, "Teacher, I understand. What should we do now?"
Gao Yuliang thought for a while and said, "First, we have to rescue Chen Yang as soon as possible. She is at the border of Myanmar and her situation is very dangerous. We can't delay any longer."
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Okay, teacher. I will arrange for someone to bring Chen Yang back as soon as possible."
Gao Yuliang went on to say, “Also, Chen Hai and Chen Yanshi can’t stay on the Burmese border forever. Their presence could cause serious international disputes. We must find a way to bring them back.”
Qi Tongwei said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, it's not so easy to bring Chen Hai and Chen Yanshi back. They may have been targeted by some forces over there."
Gao Yuliang said solemnly: "I know this is difficult, but we have to find a way. We can't let them stay in danger."
Qi Tongwei was silent for a while and said, "Teacher, I will try my best. However, we must also prepare for the worst."
Gao Yuliang nodded slightly and said, "Tongwei, you are right. We must be prepared for both situations. If we really cannot bring them back, we must also find a way to protect their safety."
After saying this, Gao Yuliang fell into deep thought. He knew that the situation he was facing was very serious. He not only had to deal with external pressure, but also had to deal with internal conflicts. His heart was full of worries, and he didn't know where the future would go.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei was also thinking about his next move. He knew that Chen Yang's safety was his biggest concern. He had to rescue her as soon as possible and get her out of danger.
Qi Tongwei immediately began to arrange personnel to go to the Myanmar border to pick up Chen Yang. He selected some reliable people and made a detailed plan. He knew that this operation must be cautious and there must be no mistakes.
While preparing for the action, Qi Tongwei's heart was filled with emotion. He recalled every little detail between him and Chen Yang, and his heart was filled with warmth. He knew that his feelings for Chen Yang were sincere, and he was willing to give everything for her.
Qi Tongwei secretly vowed to bring Chen Yang back safely and let her live a happy life. He also knew that all this was inseparable from Gao Yuliang's help. He decided that after the matter was over, he must thank Gao Yuliang.
After Qi Tongwei learned that Zhao Lichun had successfully borrowed money, he was delighted to receive the 30 million US dollars. However, before he could feel completely relieved about Chen Yang's rescue, the appearance of Zhao Ruilong put him in trouble again.
Zhao Ruilong found Qi Tongwei with an arrogant look on his face and said straight to the point: "Tongwei, I have to take half of the 30 million US dollars. You also know that for this matter, I have contributed money, manpower and people. If it weren't for my military forces to take care of you at the Myanmar border, could you have carried out the rescue operation so smoothly?"
Qi Tongwei was furious when he heard this. He glared at Zhao Ruilong and said, "Ruilong, this money is for Chen Yang's treatment, not for you to squander. You can't take half of it."
Zhao Ruilong sneered and said, "Qi Tongwei, don't be ungrateful. Without me, can you get the money? Without my power on the Burmese border, do you think you can rescue Chen Yang? I'll take half of the money."
Qi Tongwei clenched his fists tightly, trying to control his anger, and said, "Zhao Ruilong, don't go too far. Chen Yang is still waiting for this money to save his life, you can't add insult to injury at this time."
Zhao Ruilong shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I'm not taking advantage of someone's misfortune. I'm just taking back what I deserve. Besides, you, Qi Tongwei, are not a good person. For your own benefit, what can't you do?"
Qi Tongwei was angered by Zhao Ruilong's words. He shouted, "Zhao Ruilong, don't spit blood at me. Everything I did was for Chen Yang and for our love. And you just did it to satisfy your own selfish desires."
Zhao Ruilong was not to be outdone and said, "Huh, love? What is love in this game of power? Qi Tongwei, don't be so naive. Do you think you can get rid of me? Without my support, you are nothing."
The two of them argued more and more fiercely. Their voices echoed in the room, full of gunpowder. Qi Tongwei's heart was in turmoil. He was angry and helpless. He knew that Zhao Ruilong had a point. Without Zhao Ruilong's help, it would be difficult for him to get the money and launch a rescue operation on the Myanmar border. However, he couldn't let Zhao Ruilong take half of the money, which was Chen Yang's life-saving money.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He said, "Ruilong, I know you have paid a lot for this. But I really can't give you half of this money. You can make other requests, and I will try my best to meet you."
Zhao Ruilong was unmoved. He said firmly: "No, I want half of the money. This is my bottom line. If you don't agree, then we'll see."
Qi Tongwei looked at Zhao Ruilong's arrogant look, and his heart was filled with despair. He knew that the conflict between him and Zhao Ruilong was irreconcilable. They used to be partners, but now they have become enemies. Qi Tongwei didn't know how to deal with this situation. He felt that he was in an unprecedented dilemma.
